With Mother's Day coming tomorrow, Sweetpea Sue wants the Pajanimals to do something super-special for Mom. They decide to clean up their room to surprise her and when this works out well, they decide to do all her jobs the next day, but begin to find themselves in over their heads. They decide to visit The Moon, who helps them come up with ideas for how to celebrate their mom.

When Apollo loses a game of "Cowbella Says," he decides that he doesn't want to play anymore. When Sweetpea Sue talks to him, he asks her seemingly out of nowhere if she thinks that his ears are too big. She wonders why and he explains that some kids at school said that they were, and that he's bad at playing games and they'll never let him play again. Sweetpea tells him that those kids don't know what they're talking about, and the other Pajanimals do too. This seems to cheer Apollo up, and so does a game of Pajanimal Freeze Dance. That night, though, Apollo admits to Sweetpea Sue that he doesn't want to go to school the next day, as the kids are mean to him every day and he doesn't know how to make them stop. The Pajanimals all visit Jerry Bear and Otis the Owl in the Friendly Forest. Jerry tells Apollo that the bullying is not his fault and shares some things that worked for him when he was bullied as a cub, including talking with parents and teachers about the problem.
